If the Democrats win, it's one party rule from here on out.
They will grant statehood to DC and vote for Puerto Rico giving them four additional senators.
They will pack the US Supreme Court, turning that into a political institution.
The will eliminate the filibuster, on January 21.
They will eliminate the electoral college disenfranchising all of middle America.
There has been talk of dividing California up into 5 states to 'more equally represent the population.' 10 more senators.
These things have been in print, talked about, even voted on in Congress! It's not a secret or conspiracy talk.
If this election goes blue, the republicans will have NO voice. No way to stop the march to socialism. The march to having the government control your life.
I don't want any part of that. Vote Red and vote early.

Richard Dean Anderson: "Trump is a absolute Dick."
I guess you won't be watching a certain TV series, eh OP?
Angus MacGyver & Col./Lt. Gen. Jack O'Neill are even more watchable now.
The will eliminate the filibuster, on January 21. Hmm… which party has been using that threat as a political bludgeon for years? Hint: they’re not the Democratic party.
They will eliminate the electoral college disenfranchising all of middle America. No, they’d give middle America exactly the franchise it deserves, rather than its current bloated amount.
I love it when republican majini talk dirty!
Got our mail in ballots yesterday-they will be marked Democratic & dropped off on Monday. GFY, Mac. Good luck dodging Patty & Selma.

Does he really not see the irony and hypocrisy in that? So he’s in favor of keeping the electoral college and giving “middle America” (presumably meaning “red states”) disproportionate representation…but more “blue states” so therefore more Dem representation in the Senate? Oh no, we can’t have that…
I just read on Wikipedia that there was a proposal earlier this year to take parts of Oregon and Northern California and join them to Idaho, which would basically result in more “red state” electoral votes and/or less blue ones. I have a weird feeling he’d see nothing wrong with that idea. Anyway, though, any proposal for splitting up or changing states would have to ultimately go through the US Senate, which as of now at least, is majority Republican. Of course that might change in November.

If the morally bankrupt Republicans are the only alternative to the Democrats, that would be a good thing. But, it's not actually going to happen.

Why is it bad to give more US citizens representation in Congress? Conservatives like to praise the Founding Fathers. I seem to recall a little something about "no taxation without representation". Now personally, I think it's undemocratic that tiny states get as much representation as big states in the Senate. Funny that lots of conservative states benefit from that, but oh how terrible if we let liberal leaning areas get a vote in the Senate.

You're fooling yourself if you think the Supreme Court was *ever* apolitical. But, most of the Supremr Court Justices seem to have fooled themselves into believing it too, so it's understandable. Besides, the Republicans' hypocrisy about appointing a new justice in an election year is such complete bullshit. Too bad the Democrats don't have the gonads to actually increase the size of the court.

The filibuster is dumb. Why should there need to be a supermajority to pass a bill just because one guy decides to oppose it?

If we have a national popular vote, then "middle America" isn't disenfranchised. OTOH, significant chunks of the population of most states, both liberal and conservative, are effectively disenfranchised by the current system. But I guess if this amplifies conservative votes even when they're in the minority, then democracy can fuck off, right?

Most Californians don't want to split up the state. I know there are some guys up north who want to split off and form a separate state with part of Oregon, but I think most of the rest of us are happy with things the way they are. And BTW, this would have a serious chance of backfiring. You may think we're all liberal hippy dippy bleeding heart liberal snowflakes over here in California, but there are parts of the state that are pretty darn conservative. Split us up and there's a good chance you'd be adding new seats for a few Republican senators too.

And conservatives *don't* want to control your life? No, they just want to tell me who I can love, what bathroom I'm allowed to use, which imaginary sky man I have to worship, and where I can stick it if I need urgent health care but can't afford it. Get the fuck outta here.
Confused?
